The dark purple on his lips gradually faded and was replaced by a dark red. Even his expression became more energetic, especially his eyes, which showed a stark contrast!
This is a world apart from the half-dead state of Emperor Ganwu before!
Emperor Ganwu himself could feel the changes in his body. Others could only see the surface, but only he could feel the inside!
In particular, those who were originally weak, listless, and even in pain all over their bodies gradually transformed into energetic individuals with strong fists.
Even the physical pain seemed to vanish in that instant. Emperor Ganwu even believed he could immediately order him to run a lap on the ground.
This stark contrast and extreme difference is so striking that it's impossible not to be shocked and excited!
"I...I am..."
Emperor Ganwu was extremely excited at this moment. He knew in his heart that this must be because Sun Jian's treatment had worked!
"Your Majesty, please lie down again quickly. Do not move around at this moment, lest it affect the efficacy of the medicine and loosen the acupuncture needles!"
Sun Jian quickly tried to dissuade him.
"good!"
After hearing Sun Jian's words, Emperor Ganwu lay back down on his dragon bed, his expression still unable to conceal his excitement.
At this moment, not only the emperor, but everyone was deeply moved by this scene.
They practically had "tears of joy" written all over their faces.
Everyone turned their excited and delighted gazes toward Sun Jian, wanting him to give a response about the current situation.
Although they had all witnessed these changes, they were still eager to hear a definite answer from Sun Jian.
"How is Your Excellency's condition? Has your treatment been effective?"
"Sir...is it done?"
"My lord?"
Sun Jian rolled his eyes at these people, clearly annoyed.
Look at them, they're even more excited than if their wives had given birth to 10 big, healthy boys.
Sun Jian naturally knew what they were thinking and what they wanted to ask.
But if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way; if you're going to act, you have to act realistically.
Wouldn't giving an answer too hastily make me seem unprofessional?
Instead of responding to the questions, Sun Jian sat by the bed, appearing inscrutable, and began taking Emperor Ganwu's pulse again.
When Sun Jian was about to take the emperor's pulse, everyone around rushed to help.
The one who lifted the bed curtain for Sun Jian, and the one who rolled up His Majesty's sleeves.
Before Sun Jian could even speak, Emperor Ganwu proactively extended his hand, just so that Sun Jian could take his pulse more quickly.
Sun Jian closed his eyes, pretended to feel his pulse for a while, and then slowly opened them.
Of everyone present, only Sun Jian himself knew that it was simply the effect of adrenaline.
But he couldn't be foolish enough to say that in front of everyone.
He didn't rush to answer, but instead gestured to the four imperial physicians and Yao Tianzheng to take a look at Emperor Wu's pulse.
Don't just listen to what you say; let everyone else see as well.
After understanding Sun Jian's meaning, the five men hurriedly began to take his pulse as well.
The five people tried in turn and quickly completed a round trip.
Although the people taking the pulse were different, their facial expressions after taking the pulse were remarkably consistent.
First, they were horrified. Then came shock, and finally, unparalleled admiration for Sun Jian.
This admiration arose spontaneously and from the bottom of my heart.
Although Sun Jian did not understand medicine, he only had a rudimentary understanding of medical principles. However, these four imperial physicians and Yao Tianzheng were people who had been practicing medicine for decades!
What was Emperor Ganwu's physical condition? They could find out simply by taking his pulse!
Judging from Emperor Wu's strong and powerful pulse, Sun Jian's medical skills were successful; in other words, he had successfully extended Emperor Wu's life.
Everyone present was intelligent. Although they had not yet received a definite answer from Sun Jian, they could easily deduce Emperor Ganwu's current physical condition from the eyes of the four imperial physicians and Yao Tianzheng.
Sun Jian smiled and calmly said, "Yes, the lords are right. Judging from the pulse and condition just now, the method to prolong life has been successful."
"Judging from the current situation, if Your Majesty can receive acupuncture and intravenous infusions on time every day, and follow all of my medical advice, Your Majesty can be kept alive for more than three months..."
"If you are not overworked during this period, take more rest."
"It might take a little longer."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Emperor Ganwu was filled with gratitude for Sun Jian, and his appreciation for him reached its peak!
He shouted "Good!" three times in a row, each time with a stronger and more resounding tone.
"Minister Sun truly deserves to be called a pillar of our state and a once-in-a-century genius, as the world says!"
"The previous locust plague made an invaluable contribution to my great work."
"This time you have saved me from the brink of death once again!"
"His meritorious service is unparalleled, and I am deeply gratified. He is truly a wise minister who fulfilled my dream."
Emperor Ganwu's words almost made Sun Jian sound like a god.
Throughout the entire imperial court, no minister had ever received such praise from the emperor.
Everyone present wholeheartedly agreed with and appreciated Emperor Ganwu's praise.
They were also genuinely grateful to Sun Jian.
Without Sun Jian, the Great Gan Dynasty would likely have suffered another upheaval no less severe than a locust plague!
Although Sun Jian did not serve in the court for long, his numerous achievements were comparable to those of the Three Dukes and were enough to make countless court officials look up to him.
After hearing Emperor Ganwu's repeated praises, Sun Jian could only reply with two "hehe"s.
That old man is truly a wicked bastard!
Who doesn't know how to give low-cost verbal praise?
This emperor is all he does all day is spout this empty rhetoric.
You'd better give me something practical!
On one hand, they say that Lao Tzu's achievements were outstanding, unmatched by anyone after him, and that no one could even compare to him.
They didn't even offer a single reward.
Do you even deserve all the points I spent on you...?
Although he thought this way, Sun Jian could not possibly say these thoughts out loud in front of so many people!
If I were to say it out loud, wouldn't I just become a complete idiot?
Regardless, he still had to keep working hard. The emperor had praised him, and according to the etiquette of a subject, he should still be polite.
Sun Jian suppressed his displeasure, feigned fear, and quickly bowed deeply to Emperor Ganwu.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty flatters me. I am utterly unworthy of such praise!"
"The Nine Revolutions Resurrection and Life Extension Technique was able to work this time entirely thanks to Your Majesty's grace and blessings! Your Majesty is a divinely appointed great ruler, a true dragon reincarnated, and naturally blessed with good fortune. Your Majesty... Your Majesty only contributed a little bit of your meager strength. Your Majesty's praise of me makes me feel utterly ashamed!"
